NZ Native Birds.png

Toutouwai

Robins enjoy forests with dense, even, canopies and ground covered with leaf litter.
They can also be found in the green belts of towns and cities.

They eat invertebrates, such as worms and beetles, which they forage for among the leaf litter on the ground.
The breeding season begins in August or September. Incubation lasts 18 days, and chicks leave the nest after 21 days.
However, deforestation and habit loss,as well as introduced predators such as rats,stoats,and feral cats,do threaten the robin.


Piwakawaka

The fantail is one of New Zealand's best known birds, with it's distinctive fanned tail and loud song, and parks and gardens,means that most people encounter fantails occasionally.They can be quite confiding,continuing to build a nest or visit their nestlings with food when people watch quietly. There are two colour forms or 'morphs' of fantail, with the more common pied morph occurring throughout it's range, and the black morph comprising up to 5% of the South
Island population, and occasionally occurring in the North Island.

The fantail is widespread throughout New Zealand and it's offshore islands, including the Chatham Islands and Snares Islands. it is common in most regions of the country, except in the dry, open country of inland Marlborough and Central Otago, where frost and snow falls are to harsh for it.It also breeds widely in Australia and some Pacific Islands.The fantail is one of the few native bird species in New Zealand that has adapt to an environment greatly altered by humans. Originally a bird of open native forests and scrub, it is now also found in exotic plantation forests, in orchards and gardens. At times, fantails may appear far from any large stands of shrubs or trees, and it has an attitudinal range that extends from sea level to the snow line.

Weka
The department of Conservation identifies eight main threats to weka. Predation by ferrets, cats, and dogs are a threat to an adult weka; stoats and ferrets are a threat to chicks; stoats and rats are a threat to eggs. I t faces
competition with introduced species for fruits and invertebrates, and suffers from the impact browsers have on forest composition and regenerate. Habit depletion is caused by the modification and degradation of forests and wetlands.

Diseases and parasites have been associated with population declines, although little is known. Drought has been implication in the disappearance of a weka from some areas. In some of the region, motor vehicles cause a significant amount of road kill death. Pest control operations sometimes kill weka, as they have ground foraging habits vulnerable to poison baits, and traps are laid in a way that weka can reach. Genetic diversity can be lost during the transmission of genes through generations, affecting isolated populations.






Pudu
The Pudus are the words smallest deer, with the Southern Pudu being slightly larger than the Northern Pudu. It has a stocky frame supported by four short and slender legs. It is 32 to 44 cm (13 to 17 in) high at the and up to 85 cm in length (33 in). Pudus normally weigh up to 12 kg (26 lb), but the highest record weight
